Brief Itinerary

Arrive, pick up maps & concierge tips at Tourist Information

Quick stop at the central Tourist-Information to pick up maps, ask about group discounts (tours/museums) and grab a recommended restaurant list. Great first stop to orient the group.

20m

Lunch on Marktplatz — outdoor group-friendly seating

Choose one of the terrace cafés on the Market Square for a relaxed Franconian lunch. Perfect spot for people-watching and splitting big group bills.

1h 15m

Rathaus Tower climb & Market Square stroll

Climb the Town Hall (Rathaus) tower for panoramic views of the red-roofed old town, then wander the surrounding market stalls and arcades.

1h 15m

Plönlein photo stop — postcard-perfect corner

Short walk to the iconic Plönlein (the little pointed house with two streets and a tower). Quick group photos and a chance for some playful poses.

25m

Mittelalterliches Kriminalmuseum (Medieval Crime Museum)

Hands-on, slightly macabre museum with medieval law, instruments and shocking displays — surprisingly entertaining and a great conversation starter for friends.
